A story finally told.... - By: Iceni Peasant, 20 Aug 2008
Finally a book that tells the story of the remarkable women nursesin WW2. From the first page the reader is immediately transported to the world that these women were part of. From their nursing training to the weird & wonderful details of their uniform.

If you think you know what nurses such as these didin WW2, then think again. The horrors they endured & the terrible situations they found themselvesin will shock the reader & leave you with nothing but admiration for their spirit & bravery.

The book has plenty of quotes & paragraphs from the women themselves, and/or diary entries from that time. A few of the women are featured throughout the book, & the reader will find themselves taken vividly back to that time & seeing it all through the nurses' eyes & feeling like you are really getting to know these characters.
A superb book, & a very important book that anyone with an interestin WW2 should read.
